HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASTIC SHEET AND FILM, INK & ADHESIVES
Extreva® Coating Technology for HP Indigo® Presses
Technical Data Sheet
January 2009
Extreva® is the most advanced coating technology for HP Indigo available today. It is a multi-layer system designed to enhance all aspects of printing on plastic or synthetic media. Extreva® has been certified by HP Indigo to respond to the demanding requirements of the industry. These are consistently flat sheets with superior functional performance built into the coating. The proprietary surface chemistry delivers excellent printability and ink adhesion far superior to any other product of its kind. It insures fast drying and resists contamination caused by fingerprints or offsetting inks.
The functional performance of Extreva® was designed for efficient processing to lower your production costs, minimize down time and improve yields. This high performance coating will not turn yellow or lose printability over time. Extreva® is environmentally friendly and when used properly will extend the life of printer blankets.
